About the Compare Study Options tool

If you get a search result saying “No data available”, there may still be people studying in this area and at that study level. This is because results for searches that correspond to a small number of graduates or for which all students study at a single provider aren’t shown, to avoid the risk of data for an individual being identified.

Earnings are median salaries. This is the halfway point in the ranking of earnings – so not everyone has earned this amount. Half of graduates have earned more than this amount and half have earned less.

Earnings are actual annual (gross) earnings, and do not take account of hours of work. This means earnings will be understated for any qualification/field of study where there are significant numbers of young graduates in part-time work.

Earnings have been converted to 2012 dollars to adjust for inflation.

All results are for young, domestic graduates. Young graduates range from 21 years or under for certificate-level qualifications, to 29 years or under for Doctorates. Graduates are only included in the results in those years where they spent at least three months in New Zealand.

Earnings data only reflects graduates that have work as their main activity, with graduates in further training and on benefits excluded.

The results show what graduates earned and did between 1 April 2010 and 31 March 2012 (the 2011 and 2012 tax years).

The percentage of graduates in each destination may not add up to 100%. In accordance with Statistics New Zealand’s data confidentiality requirements, the underlying values are randomly rounded to +/-2 of their actual value.
